5 Magic Items: Horrific Books

This product offers a number of magical items to equip heroes with or use against them by placing them in the hands of foes. Each item is accompanied by a value, its game mechanics, and a Knowledge roll scale detailing how much may be learned about it depending upon the roll’s result, possibly opening up new adventures.

Within this product you will find the Arcane Catalog of Dej, a book that details just about any magic item you can imagine, imparting valuable information on them (at a cost), the folio of fiends, a book of information on creatures that may just contain the details you need to win the day, the Purgatorum, a tome on demons and their ilk that strengthens your mind against their influence (although its knowledge may have dire consequences), the Tome of the Underworld, a book that enhances one’s miracles with undead energies (so long as one is willing to risk awakening an ancient evil), and the infamous Necronomicon, a book that may result in the end of the world.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
